Thank you for choosing this instrument from TFA.
1. Before you use this product
• Please make sure you read the instruction manual carefully.
• This information will help you to familiarize yourself with your new device, to learn all of its functions
and parts, to find out important details about its first use and how to operate it and to get advice in the
event of a malfunction.
• Following and respecting the instructions in your manual will prevent damage to your instrument and
loss of your statutory rights arising from defects due to incorrect use.
• We shall not be liable for any damage occurring as a result of non-following of these instructions.
• Please take particular note of the safety advice!
• Please keep this instruction manual safe for future reference.
2. For your safety
• The unit is designed for home use only and suitable exclusively for measuring human body temperature.
The product should only be used as described within this instruction.
• Before each measurement check intactness of tip and display. Use the unit only when intact.
• Unauthorised repairs, modifications or changes to the product are prohibited.
• Operation in strong electromagnetic fields, such as next to a mobile phone, can lead to malfunction.
• The minimum measurement time until the beep must be maintained without exception.
• Discuss the measured values with your doctor.
Caution!
Risk of injury:
• The instrument contains small parts that could be swallowed by children. Keep this instrument and the
battery out of reach of children. Use under parental supervision.
• Batteries contain harmful acids and may be hazardous if swallowed. If a battery is swallowed, this can
lead to serious internal burns and death within two hours. If you suspect a battery could have been swal-
lowed or otherwise caught in the body, seek medical help immediately.
• Batteries must not be thrown into a fire, short-circuited, taken apart or recharged. Risk of explosion!
• Low batteries should be changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by leaking. Never use a
combination of old and new batteries together, nor batteries of different types. Wear chemical-resistant
protective gloves and safety glasses when handling leaking batteries.
Important information on product safety!
• Do not place the unit near extreme temperatures, vibrations or shocks. Do not bend the instrument.

A: Battery compartment
C: Display for the temperature
4. Use
• Disinfect the tip before each use!
• Press the ON/OFF button.
• When the unit is switched on, a beep sounds and all segments are briefly displayed. The device performs
a self-test.
• The last measured temperature appears briefly on the display, then 37 °C.
• Lo remains in the display and °C flashes. The device is now ready for use.
• If the temperature remains below 32 °C, °C flashes for another 16 seconds, then the alarm signal sounds.
• The actually measured temperature is permanently shown during the measurement and °C flashes. The
measurement is completed when the temperature rises less than 0.1 °C within 16 seconds.
• The alarm sounds:
a) Normal alarm (beep ... beep ... beep ...), body temperature below 37.8 °C
b) Fever alarm (beep piep beep ... beep beep beep ...), body temperature above 37.8 °C
• If the maximum temperature remains stable, an alarm will sound and °C stops flashing. By extending the
duration of measurement after the acoustic signal better measurement results are achieved. For axillary
measurements, the recommended measuring time has to be observed despite the beep tone.
• Remove the thermometer carefully. Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the instrument. The instrument
will turn off automatically after approx. 10 minutes.
4.1 Measurement methods
Rectal measurement:
• This is the safest method of measurement. It is especially good for babies and infants. Gently insert the
thermometer tip 2-3 cm into the anus. Minimum measuring time: 1 minute.
Oral measurement:
• Oral measurement is not recommended for children younger than 2 years of age. Place the temperature
tip in one of the two pockets under the tongue, left or right at the root of the tongue.
Minimum measuring time: 1 minute, mean deviation to the rectal method: 0.3 °C to 0.8 °C
Axillary measurement (under the arm):
• From the medical point of view this method always provides inaccurate values. Minimum measurement
time: 10 minutes, mean deviation to the rectal method: 0,5 °C to 1,5 °C
5. Care and maintenance
• Clean the instrument before and after each use with a soft damp cloth. For disinfection please use water-
diluted isopropyl alcohol according to the manufacturer's instructions. Any other cleansing substances or
cleansing method can cause dysfunction or damage to the instrument.
• Remove the battery if you do not use the product for a long period of time.
• Keep the instrument in its case in a dry place.
